Today was applied, the worst update in the last time.
This update primarily affects levels below 20. Currently, this is costing them 2 boxes daily in eco mode, or about 10 in war mode. Monetarily, it's around 8 to 40 vatou coins extra per day.
For eco builds, this isn't a major problem, but it is for hybrids or soldiers. For low levels, this is critical. They'll be forced to spend four weeks in eco mode before fighting. Yes, this also affects other levels.
Currently, the average time a soldier takes to recover from a war is around 3 to 4 weeks, and to return to fighting for 2 weeks maximizing resources. Monetarily, this costs them around 3k to 6k of their wealth, which is constantly changing. Now it will take 6 to 8 weeks to complete this recovery.
The immediate effect was seen in scrap and yellow boxes, raising the price by around 5% in scrap and 10% in boxes.
In the next farming era, the price of steel and concrete will be key; creating self-sustaining soldiers will be a good challenge; revolutions will be better planned; with this update, if you do it wrong, you'll be punished by disappearing along with your country for 2 months.
The price of equipment should rise drastically, especially in the higher tiers; great timing for those selling purple, yellow, and red gear.
Important: Upcoming market movements and lower salaries post-election.
